摘要 北卡罗来纳中央大学(NCCU)提议建立一个健康差异研究中心 (RCHDR)为解决健康差距问题进行尖端研究。该中心是一项协作努力 在多个NCCU单元内，将被安置在Julius L.Chambers生物医学/生物技术研究中心 研究所(BRI)。该中心专注于基础和行为生物医学研究，将利用资源和 研究三角地区邻近机构的伙伴关系、社区组织和 全国RCMI翻译研究网络(RTRN)旨在推进以下具体目标：(1) 通过以下方式提高NCCU在基础生物医学和行为研究领域的研究能力 开展三个具有创新性和重大意义的研究项目；以及发展强大的研究基础设施 核心和社区参与核心，调查人员将能够获得基础/生物医学和 行为科学；(2)准备和使各级调查人员(包括博士后、研究跟踪、 终身教职和终身教职)成为成功的外部资助的健康差距研究人员 开发调查员开发核心(IDC)，并为以卫生为重点的试点项目提供资金 差异研究，由来自NCCU和/或合作伙伴的经验丰富的调查员进行强有力的指导 机构；。(3)提供辅助活动，促进有利职业发展的协作环境。 通过提供多种职业提升活动和协作活动进行提升；以及(4)建立 与邻近的研究和社区组织以及RTRN网络建立可持续的关系，以 在NCCU推进尖端健康差距研究。利用现有的生物医学承诺 NCCU和在NCCU建立这样一个一体化的RCMI中心将极大地提高在 这是一个家庭保健中心，并推动它朝着实现解决健康差距的使命迈进。

Abstract The North Carolina Central University (NCCU) proposes to establish a RCMI - Center for Health Disparities (RCHDR) to conduct cutting edge research for addressing health disparities. The Center is a collaborative effort within multiple NCCU units and will be housed at the Julius L. Chambers Biomedical/Biotechnology Research Institute (BBRI). Focusing on basic and behavioral biomedical research, the Center will leverage resources and partnerships at the neighboring institutions in the Research Triangle area, community based organizations and the nationwide RCMI Translational Research Network (RTRN) to advance the following specific aims: (1) Enhance the research capacity of NCCU within the areas of basic biomedical and behavioral research by conducting three innovative and significant research projects; and developing a strong research infrastructure core and community engagement core where investigators will have access to the tools for basic/biomedical and behavioral sciences; (2) Prepare and enable all levels of investigators (including postdocs, research track, tenure-track and tenured faculty) to become successful extramurally funded health disparities researchers by developing an Investigator Development Core (IDC) and providing funding for pilot projects focused on health disparities research with robust mentoring by an experienced investigator from NCCU and/or partnering institutions; (3) Provide ancillary activities and promote a collaborative environment conducive to career enhancement by offering a multitude of career enhancement activities and collaborative events; and (4) establish sustainable relationships with neighboring research and community-based organizations and RTRN network to advance cutting edge health disparities research at NCCU. Leveraging the existing biomedical commitment of NCCU and establishing such an integrated RCMI Center at NCCU will greatly enhance the research capacity at this HBCU and drive it towards achieving its mission of addressing health disparities.
